Who Are They? Who Runs the World?

By Michael Tivana

The short list of who runs the world.

This list is compiled for people that want to know who the “they” are when we are talking about who runs our world. This is a partial list but many of the key players are here. Study them more deeply, (go to the Bilderberger watch web site) then send them a message, let them know what you think about their plan for the world. It is not enough to know who they are but we must expand our knowledge as to how they think and what their agenda for the world is. The agenda is put forth quite clearly in the Bush Doctrine which stems from the National Security Strategy for A New American Century.

Their agenda is also clearly stated by Brzezinski in his book, "The Chessboard Strategy" where he lays out the plan for the United States to take over Eastern Europe and Asia for the sole purpose of maintaing stability in the world. This is an admirable quest until you see their stability is the New World Order, a Fascist World Government. If you don't know what Fascism is look it up in any dictionary - it is NOT freedom.


Their agenda determines how you live your life, and how your children will live their lives. If you do not enjoy living in a constricted censored corporate state (the definition of Fascism) geared toward profit above people then speak out and join the peace movement. If you are one of the barons of power in this New World Order or if you work for one of the barons and you do not mind living in a merciless society with little class mobility, then a Fascist system may suit you. For now, here are some names to continue your research into knowing who “they” are.

 

The companies

    There are over 5,000 key players that run our world, this list is to give incite as to some of the key members of the global elite. I encourage the reader to study as many of these people as you can. With the Internet a person can use the name as keywords then hit enter and voila --- hundreds of pages of info on the person and the subject. You determine for yourself what their intention is for our world.

    Then I ask the reader to decide if that is their vision for the world as well. If perpetual war and an economy that enslaves rather than frees the people is what you desire then go ahead and support these people and their vision for a World Government founded on feudalism. If not, then join the Peace and Justice movement who are bringing good things to our lives like a livable wage, paid vacations, healthcare that actually heals your body, a life supporting environment. Come, join the fight for our common wealth and be a part of the revolution to change the world for the better.
